"Where are you from?"
“…”
"Oh, you don't want to answer..."
This is an intelligent creature. Even if it is unable to speak in its current state, it has other means and methods to express its thoughts.
But the other party just lay in the glass jar pretending to be dead and did not respond to the questions.
Luo Zheyu stood up, closed the door and left, seeming to be very relieved to leave this mysterious and dangerous creature alone in the rented house.
————
There were flashes of lightning and thunder, and heavy rain was pouring down. The rain fell in one piece from the sky covered with thick dark clouds. The raindrops splashed on the open window sill, exploding into many tiny moist water vapors that floated into the house.
There was no one in the rented house and the lights were off. All objects seemed to be covered with a layer of black gauze, dimly visible in the darkness. Occasionally, lightning outside the window illuminated the room, and the black gauze was removed.
“Bang.”
The round glass jar placed on the table shook slightly.
“Bang.”
The round glass jar shook again as a dark and slippery mass in the glass jar, which looked like the internal organs of an animal, rammed hard inside it.
But it still stands firmly, and even with such impact force, the glass jar cannot be overturned.
The size of the glass jar is very tricky, not too big to give the creature inside room to leverage, but not too small to allow it to use its body weight to press on the side, causing the round glass jar to tip over and roll.
What’s even more outrageous than the size of the glass jar is that the stupid and backward native actually smeared a layer of oil inside the glass jar!
The oil on the glass jar rendered the countless tiny suction cups on his body useless, and he was completely unable to stick to the inner wall of the glass and climb up. So he rolled around in an ordinary glass jar in a very awkward manner, but with little success.
The thin layer of oil in the jar was light red and was evenly spread on the inner wall of the glass jar. When it touched the wound on his body caused by Luo Zheyu's sharp nails, the wound felt a burning pain.
If he had a sense of taste, he would be able to taste that this light red oil is spicy.
——From the spicy Lao Gan Die that Luo Zheyu bought from the convenience store downstairs.
Because there was no food or oil in the rented house except the beef and vegetables in the refrigerator.
A black mass like animal entrails kept hitting the glass jar, trying to knock the jar over, causing it to roll to the ground and break into pieces.
However, after doing this dozens of times with all his strength, the glass jar only moved slightly due to the shaking, and the difference from its original position was at most two millimeters.
He was exhausted and had serious wounds on his body. He gradually calmed down and lay quietly in the glass jar.
"Click." The door lock was opened.
The native creature walked in carrying the human corpse he had used and discarded.
In some ways, they are the same.
They also live in other organisms, occupying and manipulating the bodies.
but……
He twisted his dark and slippery body a few times, trying his best to strike a proper posture in the eyes of his peers, and rolled his small black eyes that were extremely hidden in his body with disdain.
This indigenous creature is no match for him!
What he picked up was the corpse he had discarded. The corpse couldn't even stay alive for a day. It was almost showing signs of decay and was dead!
He can keep a corpse in a state as if it were alive. Except for the fact that it has no pulse, heartbeat, or breathing, and the internal organs cannot escape the eyes of the machine, the corpse can maintain the appearance of a living person for as long as a month.
The difference is immediately apparent.
He was caught only because he was too careless.
The dark mass tried hard to raise its "head" and faced Luo Zheyu who opened the door with a proud and disdainful attitude.
Luo Zheyu ignored him. He walked into the room without turning on the light and went straight into the bathroom in the dark.
The sound of rain outside the window was as dense as drumbeats, bouncing on the plastic ceiling outside the balcony.
"Boom--" Along with the thunder, lightning came along, and the increasingly dark rental house was illuminated by the lightning.
The dark, empty hole behind Luo Zheyu's head was reflected, and the light even faintly illuminated the appearance of the hole behind his head.
Look, indigenous people are indigenous people, they can’t even hide such obvious signs of death of a corpse.
The dark mass thought with contempt.
Luo Zheyu turned on the bathroom light, closed the door, and the sound of water rushing out of the shower head was heard.
The glass jar on the table began to shake again.
“Click.”
The familiar sound came from the door again, and the door of the rented house was opened little by little...
The creatures in the jar quieted down.
There was no lightning falling from the sky at this time, and the only light source in the rented house was in the closed bathroom.
There was some light coming in from outside the door, but the person entering the room was backlit, so only his outline could be vaguely seen.
He was about 1.7 meters tall, thin, and had short hair. He pushed open the door and walked in.
The body shapes and figures all have a strong sense of familiarity.
He walked towards the computer in the rented house without looking around, sat down on the chair, and pressed the power button.
The computer screen lit up and a blue light shone on his face.
On the handsome face, the pale skin looked even paler under the reflection of the blue light source, and at the back of the head, there was a round black hole that seemed to have been swallowed.
The creature in the glass jar suddenly shrank and suddenly tightened the countless suction cups under its body.
The figure in front of the computer desk just sat there quietly, without speaking or making any other movements. He just operated the mouse a few times, and somehow, a black and white silent movie began to play automatically on the computer screen.
Time seemed to have frozen here, and only black and white figures were seen floating in the silent film.
After the second hand of the small alarm clock next to the computer ticked for the 360th time, there was a slight sound at the door of the rental house again.
“Click.”
The door lock was opened.
"Squeak--" The door slowly opened. Perhaps because it had been opened several times in a short period of time, it was a little overwhelmed and made a sound that only old objects would make.
A backlit figure appeared in the dark in the half-open doorway.
“Boom—”
Lightning and thunder.
A flash of lightning illuminated half of the night, including the dark rental house.
A handsome and pale face appeared outside the door with the light, and sank into darkness as the light disappeared.
The creatures in the glass jar clung to the other end of the jar, trying their best to move away from the door.
In front of the computer desk, the figure sitting upright watching the black and white silent movie was like a statue, ignoring everything, and even the expression in his eyes did not change at all.
The light in the rented house became increasingly darker.
The figure outside the door walked into the house and gradually sank into darkness, making it impossible to see where he was.
The second hand of the small alarm clock ticked softly.
Round and round goes by.
When it completed the fifth round, the long-awaited slight sound was heard again.
“Click.”
The creature in the glass jar stiffened, and its small black eyes hidden in its body involuntarily stared at the door.
In the darkness, the door did not open.
It seemed like a long, long time had passed, yet it seemed like just a moment.
His eyes blurred and his entire vision became bright.
The light of the rented apartment was on overhead, and a handsome, pale-skinned young man was sitting in front of the computer desk.
There was no sound of water in the bathroom. It was dark inside and the lights were off.
Apart from the person sitting at the computer desk, there was no other identical figure in the rented apartment.
The creature in the glass jar breathed a sigh of relief, and its tense body relaxed slightly. Even when it saw the big hole behind the other's head turned into a complete back of the head, it did not have time to think of anything else.
The matter was so unbelievable that his mind was in a mess.
The black and white silent movie was still playing on the computer screen.
He gradually began to involuntarily focus his attention on the black and white silent picture that the indigenous creature was watching.
In the picture, a man and a woman are sitting opposite each other, smiling and talking politely, while holding a knife and fork, cutting a black object on a white plate.
The picture gives a close-up of the food on the plate.
It was a living creature that was struggling, but was held down by the knife and fork! Perhaps it was screaming in fear, cursing and begging for mercy, but as a mime, naturally no sound came out.
The body of the black creature on the plate was pressed down by the blade of the dinner knife, which was sawing left and right, cutting it apart bit by bit...
Before his fear and anger could spread in his heart, the scene changed again.
This is a factory. Groups of black creatures are tied to conveyor belts, and a huge knife in front is constantly rising and slashing down.
The blade is thick and sharp, shining with a silver-white light.
The conveyor belt slowly moved towards the place where the big knife fell, carrying with it the black creature tied up on it.
Approaching slowly and quickly.
“Crack!”
He seemed to hear the sound of a big knife falling.
Black blood splattered everywhere, forming a large pool.
The heavy mechanical knife was raised and lowered rapidly, and the creatures tied to the conveyor belt were chopped into pieces, unable to struggle and move anymore.
Except for the black and white color and the absence of sound, everything else about the picture is extremely real and bloody.
The scene changed again, and this time the camera was focused on an extremely familiar scene... a black creature in a round glass jar on the table...
His body stiffened instantly, every cell in his body was filled with fear, and he was screaming frantically to escape.
The inner wall of the glass jar was hit hard, and the creature inside tried to escape like crazy.
The motionless silhouette sitting in front of the computer desk suddenly turned his head. On his expressionless pale face were a pair of sparkling eyes, so sharp that it hurt the creature in the glass jar.
His whole body suddenly tensed up and he gradually stopped hitting the inner wall of the glass.
A huge, desperate fear surrounded him.
Luo Zheyu raised the corners of his lips slightly, stood up, and slowly walked towards the creature in the glass jar.
Sit on the chair and reach out towards the glass jar... take the glass jar next to it in your hand.
The creature in the glass jar was then startled to realize that it was surrounded by rows of round glass jars of the same size as the one it was imprisoned in, and each round glass jar contained a member of its own species.
Luo Zheyu opened the lid of the glass jar in his hand, and gently held a slender utility knife in his pale and slender fingers, with the tip of the knife pointing at the black creature in the glass jar that looked like animal viscera.
Stab it hard.
However, just before the sharp tip of the slender utility knife pierced into the soft and black mass, the tip remained steadily in the air 0.01 mm away from the opponent's body.
His sharp gaze suddenly turned to the only real glass jar and the black creature inside it.
His voice was slightly hoarse.
"Where are you from?"
